read more The CAPM or Certified Associate Project Management is an entry level certification. If you are just starting off your project management career then this course is apt for you. It will distinguish you from your competitors. It is the most basic course of Project Management. Professionals take up this course to enhance their effectiveness and credibility while they are working on or with any project team. The PRINCE2, ‘Projects IN Controlled Environments' certification, is a process-based project management method that provides a step-by-step, detailed method for delivering a successful project with clear templates, processes, and steps. The certification is both, process and project focused. PRINCE2 is administered in the UK by the APMG, but is also recognized and valued throughout the world, with an especially-strong presence in Europe and Australia. The main difference between the three exams, is project experience. PMP requires the highest number of hours whereas CAPM requires the least. So if you are a professional wanting to take the Project Management road, with only a few years of experience, then opt for the CAPM certification and take it from there. read less
